Calcium influx into phospholipid vesicles caused by dynorphin neuropeptides

open access: yes, 2008
Dynorphins, endogeneous opioid peptides, function as ligands to the opioid kappa receptors but also induce non-opioid excitotoxic effects. Dynorphin A can increase the intra-neuronal calcium concentration through a non-opioid and non-NMDA mechanism.

Dynorphin opioids present in dentate granule cells may function as retrograde inhibitory neurotransmitters

open access: yes, 1994
The granule cell population response to perforant path stimulation decreased significantly within seconds following release of endogenous dynorphin from dentate granule cells.

The mechanism of action for the block of NMDA receptor channels by the opioid peptide dynorphin

open access: yes, 1995
Dynorphin is one of the endogenous opioids that modulates the excitability of nociceptive (pain-sensing) neurons. We have shown recently that dynorphin blocks NMDA-activated currents directly without the participation of kappa-opioid receptors.

Dynorphin binds to neuropeptide Y and peptide YY receptors in human neuroblastoma cell lines

open access: yes, 1994
The modulation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) and peptide YY (PYY) receptors by dynorphin, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), and cholecystokinin octapeptide has been studied in human neuroblastoma cell lines SK-

Dorsal hippocampus to nucleus accumbens projections drive reinforcement via activation of accumbal dynorphin neurons

open access: yesNature Communications
The hippocampus is pivotal in integrating emotional processing, learning, memory, and reward-related behaviors. The dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) is particularly crucial for episodic, spatial, and associative memory, and has been shown to be necessary for ...

Interaction between corticotropin-releasing factor, orexin, and dynorphin in the infralimbic cortex may mediate exacerbated alcohol-seeking behavior

open access: yesNeurobiology of Stress
A major challenge for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) is relapse to alcohol use, even after protracted periods of self-imposed abstinence. Stress significantly contributes to the chronic relapsing nature of AUD, given its long-lasting ability

The Effect of Opiate Peptides on Somatostatin-induced Analgesia and Enhancing Electroacupuncture Analgesia

open access: yes针刺研究, 1999
It was observed the effects of intracerebroventricular (i. c. v. ) injection of naloxone and anti- opi- oid peptide sera on the analgesia and the enhancement of electroacupuncture (EA ) analgesia caused by somatostatin (SS) in this study. Injection(i. c.

Spinal astrocytes produce and secrete dynorphin neuropeptides

open access: yes, 2013
a b s t r a c t Dynorphin peptide neurotransmitters (neuropeptides) have been implicated in spinal pain processing based on the observations that intrathecal delivery of dynorphin results in proalgesic effects and disruption of extracellular dynorphin ...
